YOUR SUCCESS STORY…Little did three-year-old Jadarius know, he was to meet his forever family at the opening of the Heart Gallery photographic exhibit held at the Children’s Board on February 11, 2006. Jadarius’ Heart Gallery photo captured the essence of his gregarious and friendly nature. Dressed in a suit, purchased by his care manager, Garet White, Jadarius was hard to resist. Cheerful and bright, four-year old Jadarius is said to have a taste for french fries, trucks and big slides.
In April, the couple brought Jadarius home as a foster child. They filled out all the adoption paperwork, and he filled their lives with his energy and happy chatter. But, on his special day in September, in the presence of a judge, his new godmother and grandmother, two married schoolteachers officially made their union permanent.
A recent trip to Disney World with his future family recently landed the outgoing Jadarius with a commercial job for Disney after being spotted by a talent scout at the theme park. He now has an agent and the commercial featuring Jadarius will be aired on Nickelodian sometime this year. As his new dad can atest, “He can talk.”
With the ink still wet, Judge Espinosa declared, “You’re official now.”
Jadarius anxiously awaits the signing of the papers with his new mom.
Jadarius and his forever family leave the courthouse and begin a new life together.

The mission of the Heart Gallery of Tampa Bay is to enable children living in foster care in our communities to realize their
dream of finding permanent, loving adoptive families to call their own, and to raise awareness and education about the
hundreds of children who desperately need and deserve the shelter and love of forever
homes.
